Jinyi Night Walk

Chapter 540 Jinyi Night Walk Chapter [-] Assassination

Xia Xun has returned to China, and it seems that one by one he has brought a new atmosphere of prosperity to Japan

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu sent the two angels away with a grand ceremony. Along with Xia Xun, there were more than 20 Japanese businessmen and dozens of merchant ships. Quickly collect various commodities that are most popular among the people of Ming Dynasty, and the ballast stones are replaced by some metals such as gold, silver, copper and tin.

Because goods from Ming Dynasty are generally more expensive than goods from Japan, these merchant ships cannot be filled with goods exchanged by barter, and they need to use real gold and silver to buy luxury goods from Ming Dynasty, which will alleviate the shortage of gold and silver in Ming Dynasty to a large extent , Gold and silver are recognized as common currencies in any country in the world, representing real purchasing power, and this kind of storage is extremely popular in Ming Dynasty, whether it is official or private.

In addition, the copper, tin and other items were prepared to ask Daming to mint coins for Japan. Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, who urgently needed a name and wanted to expand his influence, was very interested in issuing coins with his name or portrait. Xia Xun just After proposing this idea, he couldn't wait to put forward the conditions: three out of ten.All the casting materials needed were provided by him, and the Ming Dynasty only needed to return [-]% of the weight of all the casting materials, and the rest was used as loss and reward.

The ship landed in Hangzhou Bay. Under the leadership of Chen Xuan, Xidong military and political officials rushed to the pier to meet Fu Guogong and Zheng He. Japanese merchant ships and cargo were also inspected and received by special personnel.

There was a big banquet in Hangzhou to entertain the two envoys back.

After leaving for several months, Xia Xun seemed very excited to set foot on his homeland again. Zheng He didn't drink at all, so Xia Xun did the work for him.On that day, Xia Xun and Zheng He lived in Gushan Meiyuan in order to leave for Beijing early the next morning.

There are ready-made villas on the isolated mountain. In the Southern Song Dynasty, Song Lizong built a separate palace here, covering most of the isolated mountain. After the Yuan and Ming Dynasties, most of it was destroyed. In the early Ming Dynasty, some manors were rebuilt, hidden in the shade of greenery. in, very beautiful.

The villas where Xia Tao and Zheng He live are facing the beautiful West Lake. When you push open the vermilion lacquered gates, you can see the scenery on the lake. The boat moves, the cutting song is melodious, the waterfowl flaps its wings, and the flowers and butterflies cheat their toes, just like a paradise on earth.

The interior of the villa is winding and beautiful, shaded by flowers and trees, green and emerald, and fragrant.The two small buildings of Xia Xun and Zheng He face each other like the spread wings of butterflies.

"Fu Guogong and Zheng Gonggong, you two will stay here tonight, and tomorrow morning, Chen Xuan and Jiang Xi will come to see you off."

Chen Xuan led the two of them into the plum garden, and said with a smile. Sergeant guards had been arranged outside the courtyard, and the security was tight. There were also servants in green clothes and hats, white breasted black shoes, neatly dressed servants and delicate eyebrows in the courtyard. At first glance, it looks like a pretty little maid of a local girl from Suzhou and Hangzhou.

"Hurry up, the Duke is drunk, help him back to rest soon."

Chen Xuan spoke loudly, and immediately two little maids who were happy and angry came over and supported Xia Xun, whose legs were a little fluttering. Zheng He turned around and thanked Chen Xuan and other officials, "Thank you, my lords, for your kindness." Greetings, tomorrow morning we have to set off back to Beijing to report to the emperor, it is already getting late, so we won't stay any longer, my lords."

"Okay, okay, the two imperial envoys took a rest early in the morning, and I will take my leave after that."

Xia Xun put his arms on the young girl's fragrant shoulders, with drunken eyes, and greeted Chen Xuan and the others with big eyes. Zheng He sent Chen Xuan and the others out of the door again. When he turned around, Xia Xun He has been helped into the building.Zheng He asked a servant in Tsing Yi and a small cap: "Where is my residence?"

A servant hurriedly said: "Master, please go this way. The Duke and you both live in Lianbi Building. The Duke lives in the left room, and you live in the right room..."

As the servant spoke, he led the way ahead. Zheng He stared at his back, his eyes shrank suddenly, and when the man stood still, he looked back and smiled and said, "Master, this is the room." Zheng He His demeanor has returned to normal, he smiled faintly, and walked towards the building...

As the night darkened, two little maids came out from Xia Xun's room with lanterns, and walked along the veranda side by side.

"The Duke is so young, very handsome"

"Young Duke Fu is not the only one. Cao Guogong and Ding Guogong are not very old, but they all inherited the shadow of their father and grandfather. This Fuguo Duke is different. He earned it by his own ability. Fame. Ah..."

"Why are you sighing?"

"What do you care?"

"Hee hee, are you a little disappointed? You are so young, handsome, and a big official. If you are asked to serve as a servant, you will reach the sky in one step. It's a pity, I knew that a prince of the country would come today. Dressed up like a bride, hey! His father-in-law is as drunk as a dead pig, wasting all the love of my little girl."

"Damn girl! What are you talking about?"

The other girl was ashamed and chased after her to pinch her lower back. The little girl in front twisted her waist hastily and avoided it. Kaka ran away with a smile.The two maids chased away one after the other, and the lights in their hands danced and danced in the night, like two happy fireflies.

They are all girls from poor families. If they are really favored by some nobleman and become their concubines, it will not be sad for their lives, but lucky.They have the right to pursue happiness, and this is their chance to pursue happiness.And tonight, they didn't catch this opportunity, which is obviously a kind of luck, otherwise the chance of turning a sparrow into a phoenix has not waited, but they may have lost their lives.

Because they had just left, a few figures appeared outside the corridor, gestured to each other, jumped over the fence briskly, and groped towards Xia Xun's residence quickly with swimming dragon steps, and landed silently, as light as a flying feather.

There are assassins!

After a different moment, there was an explosion in the red building, and a figure smashed through the window lattice and flew out. After landing, it rolled several times and stopped under the banana leaf. Just as he got up, he saw another figure dancing with hands and feet. Flying out from the upstairs, the man was obviously hit hard, and he fell back firmly to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood, straightened up, and then lay there stiffly.

The assassin who barely got up had just touched the ground with his shoulder, and felt the pain in his shoulder was about to split. He gritted his teeth, and was about to rush into the building again with a knife, when he saw a figure flying towards him like a big bird. , the earth was clear, the person saw that the person just stepped on the top of the rockery with one foot, and flew up the stairs like a big bird, he couldn't help being horrified, with such lightness kung fu, how can this person's kung fu be poor.

I saw the man jumping down from the railing of the building, his feet had just touched the ground, and suddenly he turned sideways, and the third assassin flew out from the broken window again, looking at his naked figure like a rag, he was standing in front of him. In the middle of the air, he was breathless, seeing this, the assassin dared not risk his life in vain, and immediately dived back quietly, moved to a distance, and galloped away.

The man at the top of the building dodges the flying corpse, and flashes towards the broken window, a bright knife light flies towards his face. Turning around, narrowly passing the knife, a sleeve fluttered down the stairs.

"Stop! It's me"

The people outside the building shouted loudly, and the people inside froze for the second time and did not shoot.Under the light, this person was none other than Xia Xun. Xia Xun, who was supposed to be drunk with cheese noodles, had clear eyes at this moment, and could already see a trace of drunkenness, and the person standing outside the window was naturally Zheng He.

Xia Xun stepped aside, and Zheng He flew in, only to see a lamp on the table, illuminating the entire room, and a corpse lying on the ground, with a puddle of blood under it.

Zheng He frowned slightly, and asked, "Duke Fu, what's going on?"

Xia Xun smiled lightly and said, "It's just an assassination, my father-in-law came so fast."

Zheng He said: "In the evening, I felt a little strange. The servant who led the way had a long breath and his feet were extremely steady. A servant with superb skills is already a little weird, and his behavior... is quite... Quite..."

Xia Xun greeted Qiu with a smile and said, "It's quite like being in the army."

Zheng He was silent, the assassination of an imperial envoy was a shocking event, if the assassin had a military background, the complexity of the case would be even more unimaginable.

At this time, the movement had already attracted the attention of the soldiers patrolling the outer garden. A group of generals and school officers swarmed towards the small building with torches and swords in their hands. Let me answer them correctly, tomorrow morning, we have to return to Beijing, it is best not to disturb us all night."

Zheng He nodded, turned around and jumped out of the window again. When he jumped back to the small building where he lived on the top of the rockery, he suddenly remembered something. Drunk, and when he came to the plum garden in the evening, he was already drunk and couldn't walk. He sobered up so quickly?Or..., he already knew that someone would assassinate him?

That night, they really couldn't sleep well. As soon as Xia Xun told about the assassination, the soldiers in charge of the security were very nervous, and immediately searched the entire lonely mountain with the small building as the center, making noise After finally calming down, Chen Xuan, Si Hanchao and other civil and military officials from Zhejiang who heard the news rushed over like burning a gun. Xia Xun and Zheng He had to cheer up to deal with it again.

When Chen Xuan learned what had happened, she couldn't help being shocked and angry. After a thorough investigation, she found that there were four missing servants in the mansion. Three of them were dressed as nocturnal pedestrians and lay dead outside the window, while the other had already escaped. The whereabouts of these four people were all temporarily transferred from other places by the steward because they felt that there were not enough servants in Meiyuan.

The prefect of Hangzhou immediately ordered someone to be in charge of Suona Meiyuan, and the knife-headed policemen hurried to the steward's house in Meiyuan according to the magistrate's order, but found that the steward and his wife had been killed in their sleep.

Despite what happened, Xia Xun and Zheng He set off on the road as scheduled the next morning. Chen Xuan was filled with guilt, and repeatedly assured the two imperial envoys that the murderer would be severely arrested. Chen Xuan was recommended by Xia Xun and had been recommended by Xia Xun He was regarded as one of his own, and besides, the Hangzhou magistrate was responsible for law and order, so he couldn't be blamed anyway. Of course, Xia Xun would not criticize him harshly, but comforted him a lot.

Chen Xuan and other officials sent the two imperial envoys ten miles away from Hangzhou before returning to Hangzhou. They gritted their teeth and started a city-wide manhunt, causing the whole of Hangzhou to jump around.

On the imperial envoy's car, Xia Xun yawned sleepily, and stretched the blanket around his waist. Zhou was about to take a nap, when He Tianyang came in from the outside, smiled at him, and reported: "My lord, Qianlong's People have already followed”

Xia Xun hummed, without opening his eyes, his body bumped a few times with the car, and he suddenly ordered: "Hurry up and go back to the capital, go to Dingguo's mansion, and find a girl Qiaoyun."

"Yes, what did you say?"

"Just say: I'm back!"

"that's it?"

"that's it"

"……Yes"

He Tianyang got out of the carriage, and spit quietly: "My Duke is really open to all people, and his tolerance is great! All the girls in Dingguo's mansion have been fucked by him."

In the carriage, Xia Xun didn't know what to think of, a nice smile escaped from the corner of his mouth, he pulled the thin blanket to his waist, leaned against the car wall and fell into a deep sleep.

In the Jinshen Palace, Emperor Yongle had just sat down when he saw a memorial on the top of a stack of memorials. There was a memorial with two yellow silk ribbons tied on it. Zhu Di tore off the yellow ribbons and opened it. It was Zheng He. A secret performance presented.

The situation outside, of course, cannot wait for the imperial envoy to return to the capital leisurely, and then let the emperor know everything about the details of the mission to Japan. Zheng He sent his cronies Xingye back to Jinling, the capital of the Ming Dynasty, before leaving the capital.

Zhu Di looked at it carefully. It not only described in detail how to wipe out the pirates along the Japanese coast, but also cleverly deployed Xia Xun, separated the three leaders, planted dirty swords in the palace, and successfully promoted the deacon leader Shi Boyi who was hostile to Daming. collapse, and narrated the process of completely eradicating the Oda clan, the culprit behind the Xiangshan tragedy.

This is a secret memorial, only the emperor can see it, and the eunuchs in the inner study who are responsible for sorting and selecting memorials have no right to read it. After Beijing, it is absolutely impossible to hear these contents when the reinstatement is made public in the court hall.

The Heavenly Dynasty ascends the country, favors the barbarians and caresses the far away, and can only convince the public with morality, conspiracies and tricks, how can it be in the hall of elegance?

After reading it, Zhu Di smiled knowingly, put the secret play in an envelope, sealed it, added wax, and Mu En immediately took it with both hands, and the secret play was filed here, unless a certain generation of emperors was interested in seeing the previous secret play, download it The imperial decree, the content of this memorial will be deciphered.Otherwise, what people know is that the envoys of the Ming Dynasty were sent to Japan, and the king of Japan was loyal to the royal family, loved the emperor sincerely, thought of respect and obedience, tried his best to assassinate bandits, and sent envoys to pay tribute and do business across the waves.Others, one will never know.

"Yang Xu is loyal, and he has made great contributions to the mission this time. Regarding the matter of Xidong, Lian... It is time to give him a final explanation."

Zhu Di thought for a while, grabbed the imperial brush...,
